This is true...a whiles back I re - visited my old Methodist church, the big
kitchen in the basement is *exactly* as it was 40 years ago...they still do
wakes and wedding receptions and after - church dinners...man they can do
institutional cooking like nobody's bizness.

How many chili suppers and sloppy joe suppers did we have there over the
years I wonder...???

Also my mom gave me a big bunch of those spiral - bound church cookbooks,
many are from our Norwegian relatives in northern Iowa c. 1965...I'm sure
Barb you would be familiar with most of the recipes :-)
